Chapter 41: Just a Kiss but still Failed (1)

For a moment, Yu Qing Huan’s mind was completely blank.

The voices of the people outside and the engine of the car all disappeared in his ears. Only Huo Qu’s words, “I just…feel upset on thinking you feel the same way” kept circulating in his mind.

He always thought that Huo Qu’s empathy was missing so that he could not feel the emotion of ordinary people.

But at this moment, Yu Qinghuan realized that Huo Qu knew everything in his heart, he just had no chance to express it.

Yu Qinghuan remembered that the last time someone cared about him this way was more than ten years ago. The broker in his previous life was a mutually beneficial relationship with him, only caring about his commercial value. While most of those so-called friends only wanted to get something from him.

As for his emotions and feelings, no one cared at all.

What Huo Qu said was like a warm current rushing in an upsurge, having melted the ice in Yu Qinghuan’s heart in an instant. His heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, which was extremely comfortable.

Yu Qinghuan’s eyes turned red, then he patted Huo Qu on the back. “Well, I’m not upset, shall we go back first? Your brother is still waiting for you.”

He thought the best thing he had ever done in this life was to pick up the lost Huo Qu by the roadside.

Huo Qu took a sniff and raised his head from the side of Yu Qinghuan’s neck. His long thick eyelashes were wet and clustered with tears and looked somehow pitiful.

“Don’t you feel embarrassed?” Yu Qinghuan chuckled, deliberately stretched out two fingers, trying to catch Huo Qu’s eyelashes. Unexpectedly Huo Qu did not even blink his eyes to let him succeed.

Everyone had instinctive reactions, especially the eyes, which would instinctively dodge when threatened by external forces. However, Huo Qu did not. It could only be done through complete trust and unsuspecting.

Yu Qinghuan’s fingertips were stained with wet tears from Huo Qu. When the wind blew, the soaked part was extremely cold and unforgettable.

Yu Qinghuan took a deep breath, suppressed the sour feeling, and then sent a message to Huo Rong, telling him that his brother had been found.

“Let’s go, your brother is worried.”

Huo Qu nodded and followed him obediently.

Yu Qinghuanscolded Huo Qu as he walked, “What are you going to do next?” He was afraid that he may not understand him, and added, “Is it really okay not to attend the academic exchange conference? Do you need to inform your superior?”

Huo Qu hurriedly shook his head, “Doesn’t matter.”

Yu Qinghuan continued, “Didn’t you say earlier it was important?”

“But not as important as you,” Huo Qu blurted out.

It was an absolute truth that Yu Qinghuan had a sexual orientation for men. Now what Huo Qu said with a show of seriousness was stirring his heart. He could not help palpitating when looking at Huo Qu’s handsome face.

He said in his heart three times of “Rabbits don’t eat grass beside their nests” to barely restrain his heartthrob.

The two had just walked to the door of gate 4 when Huo Rong came running with a face of surprise. When he saw Huo Qu, his whole body was relieved, “My dear brother, promise me, don’t frighten me like this next time, ok? Our eldest brother almost skinned me!”

“I’m sorry.” Huo Qu apologized in a sincere tone, “I was wrong.”

Huo Rong was stunned when he heard these words.

This was the first time in more than 20 years that he had seen his younger brother apologize.

Huo Qu was very simple, but it was because of this kind of simplicity that he insisted on his own ideas all the more. He would never feel himself wrong. Even if his family took turns to persuade him, he would not change his ideas.

Facing their earnest efforts, he would only stay silent and refuse to communicate.

Today’s apology was a leap forward for Huo Qu.

“No, it…I mean…it doesn’t matter.” His silly brother Huo Rong was so happy and was almost to float up. Before their reunion, he planned to complain in front of his parents, but now, even if Huo Qu said he would resign from the institute, he would support him with both hands up, let alone the dropout from the academic exchange conference!

He ran up to Huo Qu, with a silly smile, “Come on, go home with me.”

However, he did not expect Huo Qu to take a step back and stand behind Yu Qinghuan, staring at him warily, “No.”

“Or do you want to go back to America?” Huo Rong could not understand what his little brother meant. He grabbed the hair, under kind of distress, “Don’t, little brother, anyway, that kind of conference would be held every year. Rest assured, I will help you handle with the institute. How could you endure the tiring round trips?”

Having said that, he reached out his hands for Huo Qu, but was dodged by the opposite side.

Huo Rong’s face was full of doubts, “Qu?”

Huo Qu looked firm. “I want to go back with Qinghuan.”

Yu Qinghuan did not expect he would suddenly say so and was startled. After returning to absolute being, he was in some distress situation, “You should go home first. I’ll come to see you when I’m free. I live with the film crew now, and you can’t go there.”

Huo Qu shook his head, uttered the same word, “No.”

He wanted to be with Qinghuan.

“Listen to me,” Yu Qinghuan patted him on the shoulder, “Go home with your brother, I need to go back to work soon. Call you later.”

“Qinghuan,” Huo Qu took hold of Yu Qinghuan’s skirt and looked at him with sparkling eyes, which looked pathetic.

Before Yu Qinghuan could say anything, Huo Rong surrendered first.

“OK, fine. Take him away. I’ll tell Liu Jia’an.” Huo Rong could not bear to be tough on his little brother and was also worrying him to set the world on another fire. So he just put the duty on Yu Qinghuan, “Don’t worry, he would agree.”

“All right.” Since Huo Rong said so, Yu Qinghuan could no longer refuse, but nodded in agreement.

Huo Rong saw his little brother’s little face immediately lit up as bright as the sun.

Unaccountably, Huo Rong’s heart suddenly filled with a strange sadness like marrying out a sister…
